$1,490 USDAntique French Mannequin Head of Child / BOY - RARE Vintage Shop Dummy
Antiques:Mannequins & Forms
RARE and lovely French plaster mannequin of a boy, c.1900. No doubt modeled on a real child – this beautiful partial mannequin depicts a boy –his head tilted back, small pouting lips, raven black hair, sincere blue eyes and fine pixie features. The facial expression is arresting drawing the onlooker in with a gaze that “follows” them around the room – perhaps this affect has partly been achieved by the hollowed out, or recessed pupils. Clearly an example worthy of preservation, it has undergone ...
